Alison Barker

Alison is logical and determined, skills that are definitely required for the day to day running of the finance and HR department. However, she also claims to be quietly unconventional!

She showcases her creativity best when designing and making her own unique jewellery and loves vintage shops, holidaying in the UK and afternoon cream tea.

Seeing what other people achieve is what Alison finds inspirational and makes her feel she can give something a go. This was the case when she tried ice skating for the first time, fell over and had no change of clothes to go home in! A night in with the television and chocolate is definitely how she’d prefer to spend an evening.

If Alison could have a superpower it would be to fly, something that might help her fear of heights and as she is left handed her party trick is being able to write backwards.

Christmas windows are a much anticipated feature in the retail calendar but we wanted to take a more detailed look at some well known retailers to see how their Christmas campaigns are communicated, designed and then delivered in store.

Some exciting new retail openings, a beautiful department store in Rotterdam & sculptures on the South bank, its been a visually inspiring month for us here at trc. Read more about our highlights in our latest blog.
